Where I grew up in Tennessee, professional wrestling was hugely popular. I was a kid during the second Golden Age of professional wrestling. While our parents had Gorgeous George, boys and girls in my day talked about Friday night matches between favorites like Ric Flair, Roddy Piper, and Hulk Hogan.

Even then wrestling had a charitable side–Hulk Hogan was the most requested celebrity for Make-A-Wish visits in 1980.

The WWE still maintains a strong focus on its charitable side with corporate social responsibility site, Community. WWE Community supports diversity, education, hope, and military charities and outreach programs.

WWE’s Be A STAR Program

The Be a STAR program encourages young people to Show Tolerance And Respect. Founded by The Creative Coalition and WWE in April 2011, the mission of Be a STAR is to ensure a positive and equitable social environment for everyone regardless of age, race, religion or sexual orientation.

In a nutshell, it’s an anti-bullying initiative that works through grassroots efforts beginning with education and awareness. Be a STAR promotes positive methods of social interaction and encourages people to treat others as equals and with respect because everyone is a star in their own right.

Parents, if you are concerned about your child being bullied, please check out the Be a STAR resources for you. You are your child’s best, strongest advocate, and she needs your help if she’s being bullied.

S.T.A.R. Alliance

The Creative Coalition and WWE have created the S.T.A.R. Alliance, a group of actors, musicians, comedians, athletes, television personalities and members of The Creative Coalition, who have joined together to help put an end to bullying during Summerslam.

Bullying isn’t like a disease like small pox. It won’t be stopped by a one-time shot. Bullying stops when ever kid knows it’s not okay to treat or be treated in way that shows a lack of respect for people’s differences. I hope that the information from Be a STAR helps children nurture a strong sense of respect both for themselves and for others.

I think that we must be the same age! We used to rent the WWF matches on PayPerView and have parties. LOL My favorite wrestlers were Hulk Hogan, Macho Man, the Ultimate Warrior, Jake the Snake etc. Ah, the good old days!

I love being a mother, but I’m pretty sure I’m not very good at it. People tell me I’m a good mom, but I wish they wouldn’t pat my shoulder when they said it.
I have four kids at home and one husband, who is Ricky to my Lucy. He puts up with late dinners, occasional clean underpants shortages, and my madcap schemes.
